In accordance with Sec. 351.213 of the regulations, an interested

party as defined by section 771(9) of the Act may request in writing

that the Secretary conduct an administrative review. The Department has

changed its requirements for requesting reviews for countervailing duty

orders. Pursuant to 771(9) of the Act, an interested party must specify

the individual producers or exporters covered by the order or

suspension agreement for which they are requesting a review (Department

of Commerce Regulations, 62 FR 27295, 27494 (May 19, 1997)). Therefore,

for both antidumping and countervailing duty reviews, the interested

party must specify for which individual producers or exporters covered

by an antidumping finding or an antidumping or countervailing duty

order it is requesting a review, and the requesting party must state

why it desires the Secretary to review those particular producers or

exporters. If the interested party intends for the Secretary to review

sales of merchandise by an exporter (or a producer if that producer

also exports merchandise from other suppliers) which were produced in

more than one country of origin and each country of origin is subject

to a separate order, then the interested party must state specifically,

on an order-by-order basis, which exporter(s) the request is intended

to cover.

Seven copies of the request should be submitted to the Assistant

Secretary for Import Administration, International Trade

Administration, Room 1870, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street &

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230. The Department also

asks parties to serve a copy of their requests to the Office of

Antidumping/Countervailing Enforcement, Attention: Sheila Forbes, in

room 3065 of the main Commerce Building. Further, in accordance with

Sec. 351.303(f)(1)(i) of the regulations, a copy of each request must

be served on every party on the Department's service list.

The Department will publish in the Federal Register a notice of

``Initiation of Administrative Review of Antidumping or Countervailing

Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation'' for requests received

by the last day of August 1998. If the Department does not receive, by

the last day of August 1998, a request for review of entries covered by

an order, finding, or suspended investigation listed in this notice and

for the period identified above, the Department will instruct the

Customs Service to assess antidumping or countervailing duties on those

entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or bond for) estimated

antidumping or countervailing duties required on those entries at the

time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption and to

continue to collect the cash deposit previously ordered.

This notice is not required by statute but is published as a

service to the international trading community.

Dated: August 4, 1998.

Maria Harris Tildon,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
